The Crown and Anchor corner edifice juts out like prow of a ship into the waves of people flooding Covent Garden. The busy ground floor area is an unexceptional but decent enough space, with lots of standing room. Drinks-wise, the pumps provide three decently kept ales, served up by emotionless bar staff. If you find the ground floor too busy, upstairs provides a quieter, spacious bar, which is a great spot for people watching. Its large windows look down on a mixing-bowl pedestrian area formed by the convergence of Neal, Earlham and Shelton Streets. Grab a pint and a window seat and watch boutique shoppers, bargain hunters, theatregoers and tourists from everywhere ebb and flow below you.

If you want a pub that will ruin an evening out then you can't go wrong with the Crown & Anchor. Bag thieves love this place but the management don't seem to care. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. And isn't there a smoking ban in pubs too?
